Reader’s Question:

In Macon, Georgia how much is a seat belt ticket?

Taylor

Macon, GA

The state of Georgia is a primary enforcement state, meaning that law enforcement officers are authorized to pull motorists over solely to issue a seat belt ticket.

If a child is not wearing a seat belt, the penalty is about a $25 fine. Children under the age of six are required to be in an weight/age appropriate child restraint or booster seat. The failure to belt a child under the age of six is around a $50 fine.

Generally fine amounts can vary according to the jurisdiction you are ticketed due to court costs, etc in so if you have been ticketed for driving without a seat belt I suggest that you contact the court listed on the ticket.
